Butt kissing diplomacy

If there was ever a good case study in how democratic diplomacy works, you need look no further than the Russia/Georgia conflict.

For the entire duration of his presidency, Bush has done nothing but kiss the ass of Vlad and his former KGB butchers. The Bushies kept Georgia and Ukraine out of NATO as a concession to Russia. They turned a blind eye to the bogus "election" where Putin remains in power.

All in the hopes they would help us out in Iran.

What did that get us?

Not only has Russia not helped at all in Iran, they pull this stunt against an ally of the US. And all we can do is stand back and watch it happen.


Now we've got Obama out there proclaiming even more democratic pacifist diplomacy.

From Jonah Goldberg
Obama's response?

First, late Thursday evening, he gave a conventional written statement calling for calm, U.N. action and "restraint" from both sides -- followed an hour later by a slightly stronger condemnation of Russian aggression and a call for a cease-fire.

Yeah, once again we look to the UN to "solve" a problem; they're only 0 for 60 years. Where is the intelligence in that? Well, Obama at least follows it up with a "statement for calm".... That always works against a tyrant's invasion.


All diplomatic ass kissing ever solved... well it's actually never solved anything. All it's ever done it procrastinate an inevitable confrontation that allows aggressors to organize their attack and leaves the US with their pants down.

This episode proves it.
